AKFP expands line with organic premium cassava flour
American Key Food Products (AKFP) has introduced an organic version of its pioneering King Lion Premium Cassava Flour, which will enable gluten-free and grain-free bakers to now offer high-quality organic products to their consumers.
“Demand for our naturally gluten-free Premium Cassava Flour has grown rapidly as the market for high-quality gluten-free and paleo baked goods continues to expand,” says COO Mel Festejo. “It became clear to us a couple of years ago that many people who are pursuing a gluten-free, paleo or grain-free lifestyle are also looking for organic options, so offering this Organic Premium Cassava Flour is a natural evolutionary step for our cassava-based ingredient line. It took a while for AKFP to gain access to organic farms planted with cassava, but we are there now with cassava supplies, though we will have limited quantities for the time being. In the future we will be offering other organic ingredients as well.”
